Atleti: Intense Preparation Aimed at Espanyol

Atlético de Madrid continues to fine-tune its machinery, focusing on the crucial match against Espanyol. Cholo Simeone, true to his style, maximized the training session, although he had notable absences due to international commitments.

Key players such as Correa, Giuliano, Nahuel, De Paul, Julián, Giménez, Reinildo and Sorloth are representing their national teams, leaving a gap in the team’s daily routine.

To make up for these absences, the Rojiblancos’ coaching staff turned to the talent of the youth team, using it as sparring to polish tactical details and try different variants. Oblak led those present from the first team, while Le Normand did specific work after his participation with Spain.

Koke, for his part, combined exercises with his teammates and with the youth team. The Colchoneros squad hopes to recover players in Thursday’s session, with the hope that Nahuel, De Paul, Giuliano, Julián Alvarez, Giménez, Sorloth and Reinildo will join the work at Cerro del Espino.

The goal is clear: to arrive in optimal conditions for the clash against Espanyol and add three vital points to continue climbing positions. Intensity and commitment are the hallmarks of this Atleti, which does not give up in the face of adversity.

Lemar: A negotiated farewell?

Thomas Lemar, one of the most appreciated players in the Rojiblanco dressing room, faces a crucial summer in his career at Atlético de Madrid. After seven seasons marked by ups and downs and injuries, his future at the club is once again up in the air.

He arrived at the Metropolitano as a world champion and the most expensive signing in the club’s history, generating great expectations that were not fully met. His participation was key in winning the League title in the 20/21 season, where his potential was glimpsed.

However, injuries, especially a ruptured Achilles tendon that kept him away from the field for almost two seasons, have limited his performance. Atlético already tried to find him an exit in the past winter market to free up salary mass, without success.

Now, given the current situation and with a contract until 2027, the club would be willing to facilitate his departure, even contemplating a loan similar to Saúl’s. The idea is to help Lemar find a team that assumes part of his salary during the first season, with the possibility of a definitive transfer in the following. From the Metropolitano, the best solution will be sought so that Lemar, one of the veterans of the squad, finds a new destination and alleviates the club’s financial burden.

The ‘FIFA virus’ always generates anxiety at the Metropolitano, and this time is no different. Up to eight Rojiblancos players, plus the promise Iturbe from the B team, are defending the colors of their national teams, raising tension at the club.

The main concern lies in the risk of injuries that could affect the team in crucial moments of the season. The focus of attention is on the electrifying Argentina-Brazil, a South American classic that will feature five representatives from Atleti.

Key players such as Julián, De Paul, and Giuliano, fundamental pieces in Simeone’s scheme, will be on the field, increasing the risk of physical mishaps in a high-intensity duel. Molina and Correa also complete the Argentinian delegation.

Beyond the match against Espanyol, Atlético has its sights set on the crucial match against Barça in just eight days, a match that could define the course of the season. An injury to any of these players would be a major blow to the team’s aspirations.

Atlético, between collective glory and individual awards

The recent elimination in the Champions League and the league setback against Barcelona have been a tough blow for Atlético, both collectively and individually. Two of its most outstanding figures, Julián and Oblak, now see the achievement of the individual awards they were aiming for as more complicated.

Julián’s spectacular season, with 23 goals, had positioned him as a serious contender for the best player of the year. However, the elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League, a tournament that usually makes the difference in the awarding of these awards, could be a difficult obstacle to overcome.

Still, hope lies in the possibility of achieving the League-Cup double, in addition to the Club World Cup, competitions that could serve as a showcase to show off his talent. For his part, Oblak, who aspired to his sixth Zamora trophy, an unprecedented milestone in the history of LaLiga, has also seen his options threatened.

The four goals conceded against Barcelona have considerably reduced his advantage over David Soria, Getafe’s goalkeeper, in the fight for the trophy for the least scored goalkeeper.

Despite this setback, the fans are confident that Oblak will regain his best level and continue to be a fundamental pillar in the Metropolitano’s goal. Despite this small bump, Atlético’s season is still exciting. The rojiblanca fans are confident that the team will rise and fight to achieve their goals, both collectively and individually.

Correa: Future in the Air and World Cup Dream

Ángel Correa, a Rojiblanco warrior with a decade of dedication, faces a crucial moment in his career. Despite memorable goals against heavyweight rivals such as PSG, Real Madrid, and Athletic, his prominence at Atlético has diminished this season, relegating him to a secondary role.

This situation, coupled with the fact that he has only one year left on his contract, has sparked uncertainty about his future at the club. Correa, known for his goalscoring instinct and magical moments like the historic toe-poke, has always been a valuable spark for Cholo Simeone.

However, with his sights set on the World Cup next year, where Argentina will defend their title, the striker may be considering new horizons to ensure his participation. Interest in the Argentine is not lacking. Several teams, including Tigres, have shown interest in acquiring his services.

Although no formal offer has arrived at the Metropolitano, Atlético has offered him a three-season renewal. The final decision rests with Correa, who will have to weigh his love for the club, his desire for minutes, and his World Cup ambition. The coming weeks will be decisive in defining the future of this talented player who has left his mark on the hearts of the Colchoneros fans.
